Are there any exchanges that cover all crypto currencies or do you need to set up different accounts to cover all bases?
Do most offer phone apps that allow to to keep track of things and buy/sell easily?

Bitcoin now seen as more as a store of value rather than something you'd buy coffee with that's for sure.

Other coins are vying for acceptance more as actual currency, ie Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash (there's been a soap opera around this the past month or so), Dash.

Indeed - really it's all just one big Ponzi scheme though, isn't it? Nothing of actual value has been created, just distributed from people who got in late to those who got in earlier. Eventually some sucker will be left holding a billion bitcoins worth $0.

And all consuming more electricity (and therefore the planet's finite resources) than 159 countries. Well done everyone.

I've been using Bitcoin for a few years as a currency to buy certain "non-essential leisure" goods. I added up all the Bitcoin I've bought (and spent) over that time period and then converted to today's price. £85,000!!!! Fairly gutting that.

Amazed how many make their judgement calls on crypto with seemingly no knowledge of how they work/what they are/what influences their market pricing. I suppose not that different from amateur stock market investment (although arguably crypto seems more cryptic to many).

Also amazed how many looking at it in short term, buy/sell on daily basis kind of investment, given the above.

Surely Bitcoin is now far too volatile to be useful as an actual currency to buy or sell goods and services with, not to mention the fees for performing a transaction.

I see Steam aren't accepting it anymore for a start.

This is my main problem with BC.

Folks using it for speculation rather than a crypto currency.
